EnderIO has been developed to remove those things I have found frustrating when using mod packs such as FTB. At this early stage, Ender IO provides three main sets of functionality:

1) A compact set of conduits for power, redstone and fluids (items to come). These conduits can all be combined within a single block space and hidden by a simple facade system that allows the facade to appear as any other opaque block in the game, wether its vanilla or from another mod. The facades are automatically hidden when a tool or conduit is equipped to allow modifications to your conduit system without removing and replacing the facades.
The power conduits support Build Craft power (MJ) and the fluid conduits support any fluid using the new Forge fluid API.

2) The EnderIO block and Enderface item can be used in conjunction to interact with any your machines or inventories from anywhere within the same dimension. The items are expensive, but tending to your bee hives without constantly running back and forth makes it well worth while!

3) Tired of having a limited selection of stairs, fences, walls or gates? With the ‘Painter’ you can now make these blocks appear as though they are made out of any opaque block in the game (including blocks from other mods), no matter how silly it may look! Dirt stairs? Diamond block walls? Maybe even something sensible….

Machines

Ender IO adds the following machines:

1) Stirling Generator (equivalent to BC Stirling engine)

2) Photovoltaic Panels (aka solar panels) at peak producing 1 MJ/t

3) Painter

4) Alloy furnace

5) Reservoir

Multiblock, place in a 4×1 pattern, fill with two buckets and you have an infinite water source. Eight click with a bucket etc to fill it, or attached Liquid Conduits or BC pipes. To auto eject into attached pipes / machines, right click with a wrench.

Using the EnderIO

To remotely access your machines etc, craft the EnderIO block and the Enderface item. Place the EnderIO near your machines then right click on it with the Enderface to sync the two. To activate, simple right click on the Enderface from any location within the same dimension and a UI will open which displays all blocks within an eight block radius of the EnderIO. Right click on any of these blocks to open its GUI.

The area around the EndioIO is not currently chunk loaded, so this must be handled separately.

Important: EIO now requires the latest version of the RF API. This change means EIO conduits will work with the latest release of TE and MFR, but it will also mean you may get errors / crashes if you use mods that ship an old version of the API. If you are getting java.lang.IncompatibleClassChangeError errors this means an old version of the RF is being loaded. This can resolved by either removing the cofh/api/energy folder from the out of date mods jars, or including the latest cofh core (as is the the owner of the RF api its version should always be loaded). Do not report these errors on the EIO issue tracker, but please do report them to the owners of the mods including the old API.

Items can be excluded from ‘grinding ball’ bonuses to prevent item dupes.
